To this end, Love has placed ads in newspapers in New York City and Los Angeles inviting all and sundry to take their best shot. Her requirements are simple: "Must play BASS or GUITAR (Really Play) and look like a Goddess." Oh, and "NO BOYS." (It's getting so you can almost smell a reality show about to happen, isn't it?) The band will tour in support of Love's new solo album, America's Sweetheart, which is due out this fall. Love shows...
